Right it’s somewhere around 359, which is easily acquirable from inferno dungeons.
Which unlike wrath is the same for 10 and 25 man(which is another reason why just dumping 10 man gear into inferno dungeons wouldn’t work the same)
And is ultimately irrelevant to the overall point that it’s simply easier to fill all your slots with entry level gear for firelands just from dungeons than it was in wrath with H+.
You know there is no min requirement for Firelands? You could probably do firelands at 355 ilvl, which you can easily get to without ever setting foot into an inferno.
359 is T11 normal modes which is about what people running the next tier will expect.
It’s almost like the gear requirements scale up based on the previous tier, weird huh…
Because there is no more distinction between 10 and 25 man, so they just put everything on currency which is fine and gives more control over what you get anyways.
Then if you are worried about doing infernos at 346, then don’t do them at 346. The requirement doesn’t mean you have to be at exactly that ilvl. You can go over it.
If I need Skystrider Belt of the Faultline, I have to hope the right belt even drops let alone the right stats. If it doesn’t drop I have to wait a whole week to try again.
Don’t have to wait a week with the vendor and I know the belt I’m buying is at least the right belt.
Or are you talking about an alternative that doesn’t exist? Because I’m talking about the current systems in place.
